Import from other outliners

Copy your notes in the other app, then paste them into a bullet in TreeWrite. Each line becomes a bullet, and indented lines become its children. These steps are also in TreeWrite, under Import from another outliner… in the file menu.

From	What to copy
Workflowy	In the menu of a bullet, choose Export, then Markdown. To bring everything, export your whole account
Dynalist	In the menu of a document or item, choose Export, then OPML. Bring one document at a time
Logseq	Right-click the title of a page, choose Export page, then Text, with dashes and no option ticked. For some blocks only, select them, right-click and choose Copy as. Bring one page at a time
Anything else	From Obsidian, Notion, a .md or a .txt file: select everything and copy it

How the text becomes bullets

In the text you paste	In TreeWrite
-, *, +, • or 1. at the start	Removed
[ ] or [x]	A checkbox
1., 2. and so on	A numbered bullet
#, ## or ###	A title
A line without a marker, indented under an item	The note of the item
Lines between three backticks, or between $$	A code bullet, or a math bullet
A table with | between cells	A table bullet
--- alone on a line	A divider
 alone on a line	An image bullet
**Bold**, *italic*, `code` and links	The same formatting

Ctrl+Z undoes the whole paste. Ctrl+Shift+V pastes the text as it is, on one line.

What does not come along

• Images and files stored inside the other app. Add them again as assets.
• Tags stay as #tag text. Create the tags you want in TreeWrite.
• Dates. Add them again with the calendar.
• Links between pages, as [[Page]], become their text. Use references instead.
• Completed items that are not checkboxes, and canceled tasks.
• Colors, highlights and strikethrough. The text stays.

When you paste from Dynalist or Logseq, TreeWrite tells you what it left out.
